Betsy- I don't have a blog, but I would not miss reading yours for nothing. You made my day/night. I just had to write when you said it was boring getting your hair cut & color. I can not believe that there is anything about you would be boring........I know you said getting the works done was boring. I just know when you walk in the shop every body just lights up.I have a BIG feeling you do to. Keep up the good writting on your blog. I love it. Love your style to........but most of all keep getting those hair cuts & color. It will make you "Feel Good & look better. Hairdresser

The "paint by numbers" gallery does look more cohesive as you intended...Glad you discovered that "plastic stacks"....it is so great that you can buy plastic glasses and dinnerware nowadays that really look like glass...Pottery Barn has a line of dishes that are plastic and they look like pottery...This is so great when you have a pool/patio area where glass breakage is a real problem....

Love your work area...I am surprised that you have not covered your cabinetry in grass cloth or something of that nature...Being the "big time decorator" that you are!!...LOL!!...Love all the things you do!!!

Betsy, I really have been enjoying your blog. We spent the month of February in Florida in a home similar to yours and it was so much fun seeing all the possibilities for that place. I love your creative work but the real reason I am writing is about hair. A while back I asked my hair stylist if she could switch to a natural dye and, as it happened, she was learning a new natural technique which we started using. I am happy with the results and there is virtually no smell to this healthier choice. Anyway, just wanted to share that with you (don't cuss me out for being pushy). Love your blog!

Betsy, the beige frames are a definite improvement! Its surprising how a little paint can pull everything together. Your "flamingo corner" is a delightful place to visit. Where's the pink lawn ornament? Love your blog! Joy

The "after" picture frames are way better :-) Glad you decided to keep the extra glasses...Ya know, even plastic can crack in time, and then you'd be short a glass or two ;-) And ya know, you could always take a couple to your other house..in case you want to give your friends up there a drink. Choices, choices. LOL!

Love everything except the hairdresser part. Gave that up years ago when Mother Nature frosted my hair and then she got all pissy and turned it silver. When I was in college I paid good American money to have platinum hair. Who knew that time would do it for free!

Love the new arrangement. So agree that white was too insistent. Your workroom makes me smile.

This post gave me a good laugh today after a long week! Keep showing us your beautiful Florida house so I can borrow (steal) some more ideas from you! I think flamingos prefer the softer color frame. Pretty glasses too. They never look plastic when they are brand new!

Just discovered your blog and I am THRILLED! We live in FL and am from western MA, so I admire everything you do.....Thanks for all the humor. Decorating has become WAY too serious. You put the fun back in it.

My Fabric Line!!!!! How Cool Is That???

I've been a designer for longer than some of you have been alive. I have now started a new page of my career, closing my firm and designing furniture, as well as writing decorating books. Some of you may be familiar with my work over the years by seeing me in magazines. I tend to think that I'm funny, so please read my postings with a grain of salt thrown in for flavor. My spelling is atrocious, so I am refusing any responsibility for spell check right here and now. I hope anyone reading this will enjoy the pictures, info and humor.
